I have a son working in Norway. He was originally Romanian – hates Romania now – and very much likes the lack of corruption, the peacefulness, and the money. They will get even richer, BTW. More natural gas found.

But he notes a conformity, a desire for order and disapproval of things that aren’t Just So that alarms him.

I don’t know whether this means anything but it went through my mind looking at the map. It seems to me that the US has meddled or theatened to meddle millitarily with just about everybody. With the Korean war and before prosperity seems to mark where we have been. Since then we have lost the touch. Places we go don’t do any better than anybody else. What in the world happened to us in the fifties?
